| Adventures With Subwoofers I use an SVS sub which has very comprehensive DSP over most parameters. Changing the rolloff to 24db instead of 12 makes a huge difference in how it interacts with the mains. I also use a 24db HPF on my mains to reduce the bleed. I tried two subs ... | |
| Qobuz Connect I posted recently about a similar problem with QC. I use an Innuos Pulse with a Bryston BDA3. The BDA-3 uses mechanical relays to switch resolution to preserve SQ but there is an inherent delay. With Sense, there is a setting to adjust for that, b... | |
| You are there vs. They are there I think a balanced system does both depending on the recording. The spatial information is embedded in the recording. Some mixes feature vocals or other instruments "in your face" with the rest behind and maybe lead instruments projecting forward.... | |
| Aging ears and Nuances I believe our brains retain the experiences of listening in our younger years and "fill in" the missing frequency information even when our ears no longer detect them. We know what full range music sounds like and that knowledge is recalled by the... | |
| "I Trust My Ears" I trust my feelings. If I listen to music I love and it doesn't feel right, SOMETHING is wrong. I can use my ears and brain to analyze why. It might be my system or it might just be my mood. I can tweak either one. Or just listen to something else. | |
| I find myself changing direction, in a way....... One way to minimize the effect of a large tv between your speakers is to use a video projector and screen. The screen is essentially cloth and should have minimal effect on sound. There are a lot of new compact desktop projectors that can be setup... | |
| Digital Room Correction vs Room Treatments Below 5k looks good but that seems like a lot of high end rolloff. You may be missing a lot of detail and air. But if you're happy, so be it. Enjoy the music. | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs I've found a combination of things that result in an acceptable solution. Sense has a Delay setting that addresses it most of the time but is not effective with Quboz Connect which I like to use with playlists because it shows on my phone lock sc... | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs To add to the confusion, today I received a reply from Bryston explaining that the delay is by design to prevent "pops" during a resolution change. This was true of my Schiit Bifrost as well. Are there DACs that have another way to deal with thi... | |
| Why don’t more members post their systems in their profile? I started posting pictures from the time I began building a system, mostly to have a personal record of my changes. My space looks more like a studio than an elegant listening room so I don't expect compliments, but it's useful if I have a questio... | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs @gkelly The same thing happens with my Node 2i. I'm thinking it's a Quboz issue. Like they don't send the change resolution signal before the music plays. | |
| Quboz cuts off beginning of songs @ho249 I don't see any buffer size setting, only cache size and that's 5 gig. | |
| Do Audiophiles usually keep the gain of the digital source at around 80%? Digital gain at 100% and preamp gain 30-50% is generally the ideal operating range but at 60-70 DB there should be no audible distortion in a properly configured system. | |
| help needed for new headphone system Another headphone amp to look at is the Linear Tube Audio VELO. It's tube based (6SN7) and uses ZOTL Technology for impedance matching. It also works as a reference level 3 input preamp. Or even a speaker amp for very high efficiency speakers. | |
